DISCOVER WHY 3,000+ CLIENTS RATE US 5 STARS ON TRIPADVISOR

I visited the canyon for the second time with these folks, just as good if not better. My in-laws and wife were just as surprised as I was in 2014 (My first visit) at how beautiful the canyon was and how wonderful the service is. Would recommend, and props to our Tour Guide Rosie, you rock!

The tour through the Antelope Canyon is something you will never forget, pictures don't do it justice, as it is hard to catch the raw beauty before you. Our tour guide Rick was great, informative and help with capturing the best pictures possible.

We had a wonderful tour with Rosie. We took a morning tour in hopes of avoiding the crowds. It worked out perfectly. Rosie was informative and warm. She helped us get best photos, gave us interesting facts about the Navajo and the canyon, and we were not rushed through.

I went with a couple of friends from college, tour guide was nice, she explained many photographic opportunities, she was very knowledgable, weather was nice, we all loved the experience.

Our guide made our trip so interesting and fun. He was very knowledgeable and an excellent photographer. He showed us the best spots for pictures and advised us on the best camera settings. This trip is a "must" for every traveler lucky enough to see this part of the country. I highly recommend Antelope Canyon Tours!

Our tour was amazing. I highly recommend this tour if you are in Page. The colors of the Sandstone is truly unforgettable. The guides are very knowledgeable and Sonny was very helpful in making sure we had taken the best photo possible. Definitely a must-see!

3-hour Navajo Canyon Boat Tour

We were picked up at the Lake Powell Resort lobby and transferred to a big jet-powered boat with a toilet and upper deck which was uncovered. When the boat moves fast, it can be rather cool. There were about 2 dozen people, and I heard that the boat was only a third full. There was complimentary coffee, lemonade, and water. We covered the Glen Canyon Dam, the Navajo Canyon where the tapestry wall was, and passed the Antelope Canyon. I wish there was more history in the narration. The lower deck has a cooling system. No food is available for sale.

We took the trip to Navajo Canyon with Captain Elaine and Captain Ursula. The two captains, both Navajo women, were terrific! Captain Elaine was the first Native American woman to receive a captain's license, according to Ursula, who related the information about the lake with humor and excellent storytelling. Very much enjoyed the trip. BTW, the young woman who assisted us at the desk at the resort was also knowledgeable and excellent at her job.

What a wonderful tour with amazing views from the boat! Captain Doug is a fantastic Captain! He’s been doing this for nearly 30 years and he knows the history and details to share in a fun way! Lots to learn! Very sad to see how much water they’ve lost, but you get to see the beautiful side views of the sand stone mountains and shapes that come alive for your view and pictures! Leave it to Captain Ursula to show you some pictures from her personal binder! History in the making!! You have a choice to sit and watch in comfort, or stand in the back or upstairs to get a 360 view. Captain Doug goes slow where he needs to allow you to take beautiful pictures, and a little faster to get to other parts! You cross to Utah as well! You can say you visited two states on a boat tour! After hiking around the canyons and to top of mountains, it sure is nice to get a view from below! Enjoy your trip!

We had The most enjoyable experience on our boat tour of Navajo Canyon. The tour captain Elaine and cocaptain for the day Ursula were very knowledgeable of the Canyon tour. They answered all questions and were were Accommodating. I would highly recommend the Navajo Canyon tour to anyone. Well worth the cost a beautiful sight to see. just sit back relax and enjoy Ursula and Elaina will take good care of you. We couldn’t have asked for a better tour guide they were awesome

The boat tour on Lady Bird with Captains Ursula and Captain Elaine was an awesome trip. They were very professional yet funny and interesting! They were also very knowledgeable of the lake, canyons and the dam. I really enjoyed the tour tremendously!

We just got off an informative and amazing three hour Navajo Canyon boat tour on Lake Powel. Our captain Elaine (1st Native American Navajo to get her captains license) and Assistant Ursula are experts in steering the large boat. We were in good hands!! The crew is very upbeat and able to answer all the hard questions. They spoke about the history of the Lake as well as challenges of today. Our first time in the desert, they patiently explained how a canyon lake is different. We left feeling exhilarated and excited to have learned and seen so much. We also have a new respect for Lake Powel. Thank You!!

This high-demand tourist destination is served by Papillon with our Antelope Canyon Air Tour .

This 30-mile long slot canyon complex belongs to the Navajo Nation .  It is located on the south shore of Lake Powell and comprises four different sections. The name Antelope Canyon comes from the once plentiful prong horned antelope that used to roam the now barren and dry area.

In 1997, the Navajo Tribe made it a Navajo Tribal Park and now Antelope Canyon is the primary attraction of Lake Powell Navajo Tribal Park.

Antelope Canyon never disappoints with its beautiful geological formations and highly attractive lighting.
